I feel like my photographic skills have slipped through my fingers the past few months.  I don't know how much longer I can get away with blaming it on my camera.  I'm about to make a HUGE camera purchase and I'm seriously beginning to doubt myself.  I mean...I've had this camera for a while...and I have taken some stellar shots...but lately?  I've spent so much time in post processing on the handful of shots that I kind of like. 

I've read things that say stuff about finding your "style" and even after a few years I don't think I have a style.  I've been really enjoying high contrast in editing lately but I almost feel like I'm faking a "style" by doing that.  And of course I'm a huge fan of portraits...but that might be because I'm also a huge fan of my 50mm. 

So...should I go ahead with the huge purchase?  M & E and some other random readers are all familiar enough with my ability...but M & E are very biased (you know, being my BFFs and all) ...Am I having these doubts because I'm a very cheap person and the price of this camera makes me hyperventilate? 

See?  I whined.  I promised you I would.

2 days until Christmas!

That's a tough one. Since you're struggling with the decision, maybe you should wait a little while and see if you become more sure of whether or not going for the new camera is right for you. I know, that's kind of a non-answer! I guess my answer is, "I don't know!" Helpful, aren't I?!
